How to Use the Whiteboard Feature on Casio Exilim 10.1 Megapixel Camera
The whiteboard feature on the Casio Exilim 10.1 megapixel camera is a great feature for taking pictures of flat surfaces at odd angles. You won't always be able to be directly in front of a poster or chart to get a perfect shot, but with the whiteboard feature selected, you will have a clear and centered picture every time.

Tips & Warnings
Make sure you are in the correct lighting conditions for the photo you're trying to take. If you're trying to take a picture of a board with text, you'll need a well-lit room to remove glare from the flash.
You can use this to take pictures of flat screen TVs and monitors as well. The difficult thing to do will be to get the lighting just right to remove glare and make sure whatever is on the screen won't be blurred or disoriented in the photo. You'll have to experiment to get the photo just right, depending on what's on the screen in the picture.
You can't combine two Best Shot modes at the same time. That means you won't be able to have the anti-blur mode on as well. To compensate a bit, you can change the shutter speed and experiment for the best results.
The camera will be confused if there is more than one flat surface in focus at the same time. It'll try to draw boxes that include all of the flat areas it detects. Be sure you have only the desired object in view when you take the picture.
